Nickels Arcade

Nickels Arcade is a commercial building located at 326-330 South State Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The building is notable as perhaps the only remaining example in Michigan of a free-standing commercial arcade building of a type that was popularized by the Cleveland Arcade. History John H. Nickels owned and operated a meat market at this location on State Street. His grandson Tom E. Nickels inherited a portion of the property, and bought other portions of the property from his brothers and sister. Nickels hired local architect Hermann Pipp to design this building. Construction by A.R. Cole & Co. began in 1915. The first tenant, the Farmers and Mechanics bank, moved in that year. The entire building, however, was not completed until 1918, due in part to delays caused by the onset of World War I. Nickels owned the Arcade until his death in 1932, when he passed it on to his children, James and Nora. In July 2015, a University of Michigan student from Saugatuck fell through the glass roof of the arcade to his death. Description Nickels Arcade is a 261-foot-long gallery linking State Street on one side to Maynard Street on the other. The principal facade faces onto State Street, and consists of a three-story, three-bay open portico flanked with store/office blocks. The facade is clad with a buff-colored decorative architectural terra cotta. The Maynard Street facade is similar to the State Street facade in design, but is clad primarily with yellow brick, with additional ornamental detailing of terra cotta. The gallery running between the facades is covered with a gable skylight of metal-framed wire-glass panels. On each side of the gallery are ground-level shops which face onto the roofed passage. These shops are essentially two stories in height, some with a mezzanine level. Upper-story office windows above the commercial spaces also face onto the gallery. The arcade is floored with blocks of square red tile in black borders. The arcade is divided into three sections: the section nearest State Street continues the terra cotta cladding and detailing of the State Street facade. This section is separated from the next by a segmental archway; a similar archway near the other end separates the center section from an entrance vestibule.

Flint station (Michigan)

Flint station is an inter-modal transportation center in Flint, Michigan. It is served by Amtrak's Blue Water route, and doubles as the intercity bus station for Amtrak Thruway and Indian Trails, as well as the local city bus service, the Flint Mass Transportation Authority, who owns the station. The station was built as part of the Amtrak Standard Stations Program. History This is at least the fourth station along the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (GTW) line through Flint. The railroad line that now hosts the Blue Water arrived from Port Huron in 1871 and originally a wooden structure served as the passenger station. A permanent stone and brick station replaced it in 1905, but was moved to Muskegon in 1927. The third GTW depot, located at 120 East 14th Street near Downtown Flint, was used by Amtrak until 1989 and demolished thereafter. The current station on M-54 (Dort Highway) provides easy access to I-69. From 1982–2004, the station was served by the International Limited, which was operated jointly by Via Rail and Amtrak and ran between Chicago and Toronto.

Flint Public Library

Die Flint Public Library ist die öffentliche Bibliothek der Stadt Middleton im US-Bundesstaat Massachusetts. Die Bibliothek ist das einzige neoromanische Gebäude der Stadt und wurde 2002 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Geschichte Im 18. Jahrhundert wurden die ersten Versuche unternommen, in Middleton eine Bibliothek zu etablieren. Reverend Elias Smith stiftete 1772 eine erste Sozialbibliothek aus seinem privaten Vermögen. Eine Bibliotheksvereinigung mit 46 Mitgliedern unter der Leitung von Dr. E.S. Phelps wurde 1838 gegründet, löste sich allerdings bald darauf wieder auf. John M. Peabody gründete 1865 eine neue bibliothekarische Vereinigung. Charles L. Flint, Einwohner von Middleton und Erster Sekretär des Landwirtschaftsausschusses von Massachusetts, schlug der Stadt gemeinsam mit der Vereinigung von Peabody 1879 vor, zum 150. Stadtjubiläum eine öffentliche Bibliothek zu errichten. Flint erklärte sich bereit, 1000 Dollar zu stiften, wenn die Stadt Middleton die restlichen veranschlagten Kosten in Höhe von 400 Dollar aufbringen würde. Die erste öffentliche Bibliothek wurde daraufhin im Alten Rathaus der Stadt eröffnet. Charles L. Flint starb 1889 und hinterließ der Stadt Middleton 10.000 Dollar für die Errichtung eines neuen Bibliotheksgebäudes. Die Stadt ließ daraufhin das heutige Gebäude von einheimischen Architekten und Bauherren errichten. Weitere Einwohner Middletons beteiligten sich an der Finanzierung und Umsetzung des Vorhabens. Am 11. November 1891 wurde die Flint Public Library eröffnet. Der Buchbestand von etwa 5000 Exemplaren kam durch die Zusammenlegung der vorherigen Büchersammlungen zustande. Gegenwart Im Jahr 2006 wurde das Bibliotheksgebäude umfassend um- und ausgebaut. Heute beträgt der Bestand der Flint Public Library über 60.000 Bücher, 3500 DVDs und 2000 Hörbücher. Bibliotheksnutzer haben außerdem Zugriff auf mehr als 65.000 E-Books und Onlinevideos.

Flint Public Library

The Charles Flint Public Library is the public library of Middleton, Massachusetts, USA. It is located in a Richardsonian Romanesque building at 1 South Main Street in the center of the town. The building, the only Romanesque building in Middleton, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Description and history The Flint Public Library is set on the west side of South Main Street (Massachusetts Route 114) in Middleton's town center. It is a 1-1/2 story brick structure, set on a granite foundation, with a slate hip roof. The front facade is dominated by its entrance at the center, which is outlined in light-colored sandstone. Above this is front-facing gable, whose left side is interrupted by a square tower topped by a pyramidal roof. The tower houses a Howard clock in working condition. A wing extends to the rear of the main block, housing most of the book stacks. Middleton's first library collection was established in 1772 as a private lending collection. Middleton native Charles L. Flint in 1879 offered the town funding and a seed collection of books to establish a public library. This initial collection was merged with the private collection and was initially housed in a room in town hall. After Flint's death in 1889, the town received a $10,000 bequest from his estate. The resulting building was designed by George F. Loring and Sanford Phipps, regional architects known for their public buildings, and was completed in 1891. The building's stained glass windows were designed by the Glasgow-born artist Donald MacDonald.

Foote Dam

Foote Dam is a hydro-electric dam on the Au Sable River in Michigan. Background This hydro-electric dam was completed in 1918 and has a capacity of 9,000 kilowatts. It is located 9 miles upstream from Lake Huron and is named for William A. Foote, the founder of Consumers Power, which later became Consumers Energy. In 1896, Foote took a side trip from Kalamazoo to Allegan, where he conceived the idea of a hydroelectric plant along the Kalamazoo River.

Ford–Bacon House

The Ford–Bacon House is located at 45 Vinewood in Wyandotte, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1987 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It is now used as the Bacon Memorial District Library. History Edward Ford (also the builder of the George P. MacNichol House across the street) was the son of plate glass pioneer John Baptiste Ford and the founder of the Michigan Alkali Company in Wyandotte and the Ford Plate Glass Company in Toledo, Ohio, (later the Libbey–Owens–Ford Company). In 1897, Ford hired Malcomson & Higginbotham to design this house for himself and his wife Carrie. Ford lived in the house only a short time before moving to Toledo, Ohio in 1900. Ford's son, John B Ford, occupied the house from 1900 to 1902, and in 1902, Edward Ford's daughter Mary Ford Bacon and her husband Mark R. Bacon moved in. The couple lived here from 1902 to 1942, although they spent a considerable number of their later years in California. When Mark Bacon died in 1942, Mary gave the house to the Wyandotte Public School System. The building now serves as the public library. Description The Ford–Bacon House is a four-story Queen Anne house built from buff-colored brick with red sandstone trim. The house measures 62 feet by 95 feet, sits on four city lots, and contains 27 rooms and 11 fireplaces. A wide porch extends along the front and side of the house, and the hipped roof was originally covered with black slate. A four-story bell tower is located in the rear, and the house features gabled dormers, a two-story side bay, and square brick chimneys.
